The boat tail bullets also result in less neck tension on the bullet than a flat based bullet of the same length, so there is also a compromise here with seating depth. Sierra usually recommends one caliber (i.e. equivalent to the bullet diameter) of seating depth in the neck, although a 3.07 OAL will not provide that much bullet grip in a .303 case neck. |
Sneaky!
(I like that)
The only thing I'd add is to get a 1/4" dowel to pop the bullet out of the leade again, ask me how I know!
Slide it in through the muzzle & kind of push-pull to find the exact point of contact.
